Both versions are available from the App Store on your iPhone or iPad. We also have a new SeaNav free version which comes without any bundled charts – you can use this to see the power of SeaNav’s tools and view our in-app demo, before buying charts for your area from directly inside the app. Charts are available for US, Canada, UK & Ireland, Germany, France, Belgium and Netherlands.

SeaNav Nautical Charts

SeaNav uses the latest Digital Vector charts providing a wealth of benefits and advantages over traditional raster charts. Buoys, Lights, Bridges, Depth Contours, Depth Soundings, Rocks, Anchorage areas, NOAA Weather Buoys etc. are all selectable and have real time distance, bearing and detail information. Turn off layers to de-clutter the display and only show what is important at the time. Tides, moon and sun times and weather are also all available at your fingertips.

Plan and Sail Routes

Use SeaNav to plan and sail routes. In-app tools let you measure distances and bearings and record waypoints on routes to sail. When you are out at sea, the app’s Sailing HUD shows your position on the route, Course over ground (COG), Speed over ground (SOG), Vector Made Good (VMG), Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA), Distance and bearing to next Waypoint. An audible alarm sounds as you reach a waypoint and routing automatically moves onto the next waypoint.

Augmented Reality view

Our unique AR view mode allows you to view buoys, lights, ships, waypoints and track overlaid on your iPhone or iPad live camera view. With “AR LockOn” you can select a target on the chart and then be guided to it in the AR camera view.

Exploring Your Surroundings

As you use SeaNav it will automatically download and store the charts for the area you are viewing. The level of detail on the charts changes as you zoom in and out. Tapping an object – buoys, lights, bridges, ships etc. – shows detailed information about them. A long press reveals a crosshair and a popup with depths, links to information about tides, moon and sun times and weather for the area plus links to any objects that are near the crosshair. Tapping again leaves the crosshair showing so you can drag the map to get a particular point under the crosshair and tap again to get information about it.
